Tops of bbls are engraved “Alexr Henry & Co Makers to Her Late Majesty” “18 Frederick Street Edinburgh”. Bbl flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for 7 grains of cordite and 140 grain bullet. High quality, perhaps factory, 28″ Shoe lump .410 bbls with swamped, narrow, game rib are engraved with same name and address as rifle bbls. Bbl flats are stamped with 1985 London nitro proofs for 3″ chambers. Slim, case hardened, sidelock action (.76″ between firing pins) is fitted with automatic safety and dbl triggers. Action is engraved with 50% coverage varying sized scroll. “ALEXr HENRY & CO” is in scroll terminated riband on each lockplate. Blued top lever and trigger guard are also scroll engraved. SN is on trigger guard tang. Striking, beautifully flame figured and nicely marbled Circassian walnut steel capped trap pistol grip buttstock measures 13-7/8″ over checkered wood butt. Stock features shadow line right hand cheekpiece, point pattern checkering, and drop points. A sling loop matching that on bbl, as well as a gold oval engraved with a rampant eagle over the initials “HS”, are on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Rifle BBLS: Drop at heel: approx 3″, drop at comb: approx 1-15/16″. Weight: 6 lbs. 5 oz. LOP: 13-7/8″. .410 Shotgun BBLS: Bore diameter at muzzles: left -.390 (full), right – .396 (mod). Drop at heel: 3″, drop at comb: 1-3/4″. Weight: 5 lbs. 3 oz. LOP: 13-7/8″. Relatively new high quality oak and leather case with brass corners is lined in green cloth, and has old gold embossed red morocco Alexander Henry label in lid. Case has space for gun and both sets of bbls, and contains a horn handled brass cleaning rod for rifle bbl, 2-pc rosewood and brass cleaning rod for .410 bbls, 2 ebony handled turnscrews, pair of .410 snap caps, and a round oil bottle. Also included is a box of 50 .300 Sherwood cartridges in red and yellow Kynoch box. CONDITION: Excellent, as partially refinished. Orig rifle bbls retain nearly all of a high quality rust re-blue, engraving very slightly softened. New .410 bbls retain essentially all their orig blue. Action and lockplates retain most, perhaps as much as 70%, orig case hardening color, which is quite strong on right lockplate. Stocks retain nearly all of what is quite possibly their orig French polish finish, with a number of light marks and scratches, mostly on right side of buttstock. Checkering has been freshened. Rifle bores are good, strong rifling and light pitting throughout. Shotgun bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. Case is excellent, with some rubs and scuffs in exterior leather. Interior cloth is very fine. Old label is very fine with some soiling and a 1-1/2″ crack in leather running up from bottom. Accessories are excellent. A delightful, attractive, little gun with either rifle or shotgun bbls. 50220-3 MGM277 (18,000-28,000) – Lot 2384
